What Scouting Gives Your Boy...

For almost 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Law. Today, these values are just as
relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-conﬁdence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that inﬂuence their adult lives.

Scouting Provides Lifelong Beneﬁts

Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-conﬁdence, and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but carry forward into their adult lives, improving their relationships, their work lives, their family lives, and the values by which they live. In fact, 83 percent of men who were Scouts agree that the values they learned in Scouting continue to be very important to them today, with 63 percent who were Scouts ﬁve or more years strongly agreeing with this statement.

Congratulations to our Newest Eagles!

Study by Baylor University finds...

Analysis of the nationally representative survey reveals significant differences between Eagle Scouts and other Scouts as well as non-Scouts. Eagle Scouts consistently indicate their experience in Scouting contributed to positive and prosocial development as measured by responses to a wide range of issues and subjects, including the following:
Eagle Scouts exhibit an increased tendency to participate in a variety of health and recreational activities.
Eagle Scouts show a greater connectedness to siblings, neighbors, religious community, friends, co-workers, formal and informal groups, and a spiritual presence in nature.
Duty to God, service to others, service to the community, and leadership are traits that are especially strong in Eagle Scouts.
Eagle Scouts are more likely to engage in behaviors that are designed to enhance and protect the environment.
Eagle Scouts are more likely to be committed to setting and achieving personal, professional, spiritual, and financial goals.
Eagle Scouts show higher levels of planning and preparedness than do other Scouts and non-Scouts.
Eagle Scouts are more likely than other Scouts and non-Scouts to indicate they have built character traits related to work ethics, morality, tolerance, and respect for diversity.
In sum, when compared to Scouts and non-Scouts, Eagle Scouts exhibit significantly higher levels of health and recreation, connection, service and leadership, environmental stewardship, goal orientation, planning and preparedness, and character.
